Until an acceptable alternative is found, it has been deemed temporarily permissible to reward OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity

Description

OCP-350 is a collection of objects designated ”OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
” and ”OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop
read document
”, in addition to a classification of anomalous nodes designated ”OCP-350-3 Nodes Anomalous Object OCP-350-3 Bloodgoop Nodes
read document
“.

The anomalous properties of OCP-350 include OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop
read document
’s ability to consciously manipulate quantum superposition probability at will. This property enables OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop
read document
to, as most frequently observed, bring OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
back from the dead. This property has been confirmed to remanifest a living, and sometimes more youthful, instance of OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity

.

profile imageDr. Lastname Commented on “at the position of an OCP-350-3 Node” It is unknown how the decision of which OCP-350-3 Node is selected is made, considering OCP-350-1 can perform this action even when measurements show its brain to be at or below 0.001% activity.

It is speculated that the decision is either random, pre-determined by OCP-350-1 prior to incapacitation, consciously selected post-mortem by OCP-350-2, or made in accordance with an unknown physical law or algorithm.

Additionally of note is OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop
read document
’s ability to modify the shape, but not the material, of anything within its near vicinity. This is most frequently seen in OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
’s ability to “shapeshift”, as described by researchers.

profile imageDr. Lastname Commented It’s a miracle that OCP-350-2 is of such low intelligence that it is unable to comprehend how this property could allow it to easily breach containment.
OCP-350-1, however, is very much aware of its ability to dematerialize and remanifest on the other side of walls; or to simply dematerialize the wall itself.

As such, while it has been deemed completely safe to store samples of OCP-350-2 (in discrete quantities less than one (1) kilogram), the containment of OCP-350-1 has been deemed a threat to the containment of other anomalies.

It is preferred that the Federation hold good will with a docile OCP-350-1, over the risk of a site-wide “Meltdown” breach event.

is a 1m tall, female humanoid most closely related to the species Acerodon Jubatus (giant golden-crowned flying fox). The object’s most distinguishing feature is a pattern of small, circle-like shapes across the skin, where the epidermis & dermis are thin enough for the muscle to be visible.

’s muscle scatters light similarly to the sky (appearing blue under direct, white light), as well as emitting a purple glow at an intensity of 0.325 lumens. Testing has confirmed this is as a result of OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop

displays both sentience and sapience, as well as basic fluency in the English language. It is capable of carrying on full conversations in a wide range of subjects. While the object shows curiosity towards the Federation as well as civilization in general, most conversations eventually converge on the topics of creating offspring with the interviewer or other anomalous objects. It is strongly advised that these topics are not entertained.

has a strong tendency towards disobeying orders and general non-compliance. It can be made to cooperate in exchange for rewards in the form of fruit. Alternatively, OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity

cooperates consistently when rewarded with access to unjustifiable amounts of reproduction.
This is to be used sparingly however, as it comes with a high risk of contamination and/or infection. Resulting biohazards are to be contained for study, or destroyed before they can form OCP-350-3 Nodes Anomalous Object OCP-350-3 Bloodgoop Nodes

regarding OCP-350-3 Nodes Anomalous Object OCP-350-3 Bloodgoop Nodes

UPDATE FOLLOWING ADDENDUM ##

Recent interviews have shown that neither of these cases is true. Following an investigation of one of the OCP-350-3 Nodes Anomalous Object OCP-350-3 Bloodgoop Nodes

Discovery

OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
was discovered on breaking into a local 24-hr convenience store at 0226hrs. The object was consuming a quantity of Frooti Tooti™-brand packets of Bunni Gummis (animal-shaped, artificial fruit-flavored gummy snacks) from a display stand it had knocked onto the floor.

When spotted on security cameras by night manager xxxxxxxxxxx, the night manager approached OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
in the main area. OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
acknowledged the night manager’s presence, but ignored requests to compensate for damage and consumed product. The night manager produced a model name shotgun from behind the front counter. When threatened, the object vocalized hostility and hugged the unconsumed packets to its chest using its wings. The night manager fired at OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity
read document
, terminating the object instantly and splattering the floor with OCP-350-2 Anomalous Object OCP-350-2 Bloodgoop

.

can be seen in the frame immediately following the shotgun flash, hiding on the opposite side of the display stands.

profile imageDr. Lastname Commented Early on, it was suspected that OCP-350-1’s anomalous property was faster-than-light speed, but later research ‐ as well as a distinct absence of any air displacement shifting hanging products ‐ quickly dispelled this theory.

OCP officials were soon dispatched to the site when the night manager called law enforcement reporting the termination, and the communication was interrupted by a loud vocalization of distress from the night manager upon seeing OCP-350-1 Anomalous Object OCP-350-1 Amity

Testing

TEST LOG 350 1
Date: Researcher: Dr. Lastname
Time: ####hrs Object: OCP-350-1
Location: xxxxxxxxxxxx Approved By: n/a
REQUEST
Goal Reproduce the anomaly observed at discovery.
Procedure

A partition will be set up in the test room with enough space for OCP-350 to get behind.

With OCP-350 in front of the partition, a member of security will fire one (1) shell from a conventional model name shotgun at the object.

REPORT
Results

A puddle of black goo. OCP-350 was found completely unharmed, hiding behind the partition as expected.

Comments

The object did, indeed, teleport. Or at least move extremely fast. Either way, it is breaking causality by reaching its destination slightly before leaving its starting point.

We made sure the cameras wouldn’t get splashed this time. In one frame the object was in front of the partition spraying black goop out everywhere, and in the next frame it was on the other side of the partition just staring at the camera.

I am curious why it left behind this black slime. Perhaps it’s a diversion, akin to a squid spraying ink.
